Malleable Encryption - Computerphile

from Computerphile Hosted by Computerphile

Malleable encryption means you can flip a bit in the encrypted message and the corresponding bit is flipped in the unencrypted plain text. Dr Tim Muller gives us some examples. nb This video is a reupload due to an audio problem with the first version. For those interested there were tones at approx 2.1k and then at approx 5.5k & 9k - guessing computer fan noise as there were a couple of occasions where it changed frequency slightly possibly as it sped up or slowed down. Computerphile is supported by Jane Street.
